Hi there. I'm about to buy one of your packages, but I really was wondering if your service provides a solid vocabulary list. Unlike (what seems to be the majority of people) I'm far more concerned about the verbal/written components than the math. Will your service still be able to help?

@genuinelysarcastic We don't provide a vocabulary list but we have many articles on strategies for improving your vocabulary on our blog. And we also have lots of practice and tips for GRE verbal questions in our product.

Your vedio is excellent..please can any1 tell wats minimum percentage required to take up GRE cause i am average student and very much determind to go abroad.. and also tell me weather Verbal part antonym and analogy are required for New GRE pattern Help me ou guys

@ASHIKALPHAable I'm happy to help! The minimum score or percentage required on the GRE differs by school and program. Here's an article that talks more about that (magoosh.com/gre/2012/what-is-­a-good-score-on-the-revised-gr­e). The GRE no longer has antonyms. We have a complete prep product for the new GRE here: gre.magoosh.com

Also , i`m English literature student , and i have this feeling that i`m not gonna take a long time studying the verbal and especially the analytic parts ? because my whole studying was based on these two parts .. so, Is my feeling right ? i mean should i feel so comfortable about these 2 parts ?

Thanks in advance ,

@missanfal Seems like you should do well on the verbal part but the best way to know is to take a Powerprep practice test from ETS. This way you can assess your strengths and weaknesses.

@missanfal @missanfal We recommend the ETS Official Guide and McGraw Hill for math. Just search for "New GRE Book Reviews: Kaplan, Princeton Review, McGraw-Hill, Barrons, and ETS" in YouTube.

We also have an entire video series on math (~150 videos) in our product and we have study plans on our blog.

Hope that helps!

@readwriteread Thanks for your feedback! Next week's theme is actually "Study Strategies", so I will definitely be making a video about self study, laying out step by step how to plan your GRE prep. Along with the video, I'll also be writing a lot of articles about how to best tailor a study schedule to your needs, so check back to the blog, using the link in the video description above.
